Matthew Stafford made his preseason debut Friday night against the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions looked as good as they have all summer (which isn’t saying much).
But it’s tough to come away from a third preseason game feeling worse about the regular season than the Lions did Friday.
Stafford completed 12 of 19 passes for 137 yards and led the first-team offense on two scoring drives, but the Lions lost two of their more irreplaceable players to what appear to be serious injuries in a 24-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field.
